I keep reading these in the hopes that they'll get back to what they were in the beginning. The last few have so disappointed me that I wasn't going to pick this one up. But, curiosity and hope got the better of me and I went for it. Stephanie Plum and her assortment of friends were fun again.

Final verdict: Better than her previous few in the series. And J.E. still has me, I'll pick up the next one too.
